This doesn't mean my characters are ignoring their responsibilities, or don't care about the things they are involved in.
I will try to stay on IRC as much as possible so that people can get in touch with me, and I will try to answer my PMs in a timely fashion, and I will try to get IG to deal with things when asked, and I will try to log in and have my characters go where they would be going, at least, and I will try to keep up with my posts on the forums as much as I can.
Apologies in advance when I can't. It's not because I don't want to, and I hate to let anyone down, my characters included.

I WILL be around and doing, as much as possible. Thanks.
